Default Issue with Search Function and Android Tablet

Hi I sometimes use a Google Pixel Android Tablet on this Forum.
When I try to use the Search Dropdown on this Forum the Gboard default Software Keyboard does not work.
If I try to type the keyboard is not visible and when I close the search box the keyboard flashes up on screen and disappears.
I have tried the Google Chrome and Opera Browsers.
I was hoping someone may have a solution please?

I have a workaround.

I cannot use the quick dropdown search on the tablet.
If I click and hold the search link I get a popup menu in Opera and one of the options is open link in new tab. This opens the full search dialogue page.
